I just finished building a site for a friends art gallery.
Smash the layout apart and tell me honestly what you think.

It's a bad layout. Everything's too tiny. And what's up with the "A51" in the page title? The silhouette on the front page would scare small children. (beware the ominous red glow and black eyes!) May I suggest reworking your color schemes and trying out some higher quality images? The concepts are good, the execution needs work. Also, I would spend more time developing your color scheme.

I have resources, links, and definitions aplenty if you've got questions. Also, feel free to yell at me, most people do.

I would remove that image of the Lady in the center. It's not very high quality - and it really serve's no purpose. It takes away from the design - rather than add to it. Next, I would focus on the text to the right of her. It's a bit crowded, and quite frankly - ugly. I would add some line spacing to it, just to make it a bit neater. Also, take away the bold, and play with Arial size 12.

Lastly, try to do something a bit more creative with the nav-menu to the left of the Lady. At least put it in some kind of box!

Also, try to remove some spacing from the top, just so the whole web page can fit the screen - well at least, my screen

.

Everything else looks fine.

Eh Im not getting paid for anything and to be honest the pictue quality is really good its her artwork that looks like that. (I am sort of doing the site as a favor for another friend)

The title page "A51" or "A75" and so on is the artwork labled for her customers. I honestly just wanted to do a quick simple job because as I said before I am not getting paid for this project and it was somewhat time comsuming editing all the pictures and having to link everything together. I am only just learning PHP and MYSQL but would that have cut down on the time of laying out all the artwork and linking everything together if I knew how to properly code in it?

What colors would you suggest using? Ill get work started on the left navigation I have a quick Idea I can through together.

Andrei what size screen do you have. I set the page up to fit on I think 720px wide.

Thanks so far keep smashing the site....I know its horrible I just need some quick fixes as to make it look somewhat presentable
